Question
Hi.  Thanks for taking the time for my question.  i am having a problem with the front end.  my steering pulls to the right, noticeably.  my brakes were replaced in january, but they squeak.  that didn't happen before i had them changed.  my tires are worn, and i do need new ones.  i am hearing a rattle noise,it sounds like marbles which made me think i should check the oil, but that is fine. the sound seems to be coming from the front right, where the truck veers towards.  can you help me?  thank you!

Answer
Tire wear can be a proximal cause of pull when braking.  What you describe could be a bad wheel bearing.  The squeak could be non-factory pads without original shims and/or caliper grease.  See the guys who installed them.  Lots of "brand x" pads squeak.
